EDIT: It's not racist to highlight that different races have different genetic traits and that sometimes these traits can directly translate to pros/cons of biology developed based on specific factors over time.
It
literally is. The concept is called
scientific racism, and it has been
thoroughly discredited by modern science.
That's not to say populations aren't biologically different from one another; but linking that to "race" is fallacious, because "race" is not a biological or genetic reality. Examining the genetic differences between populations in different regions reveals not clear delineations but rather a continuum, and any attempt to separate out such populations into different categories is by its nature arbitrary.
Unfortunately you are mixing main-stream-pushed ideology with the science. Horse and donkey can inbreed although they are different races. However Zebra and horse cant inbreed. And there were many tries to do that. Can you imagine a stripped horse? Cool, want one. Althou close relatives, their gene collection is too far away, so we call it a specie for simplicity. Same with current population. When we get another 5 thousand years of evolution and keep nation genes (for example as Japans do), such a nation have a chance to evolve a way, that cant inbreed others. That is diversity.
As far as Elf are not only different species to humans but also different evolution root. So elf eating human is certainly not a cannibalism. As a shark eating human is not either.
I would prefer some distance from Elves to other lower species. You know, you like your dog and all the animals in zoo, right? That way, elves should handle those minors. Maby elves shoud need PetPal to talk with humans.
